Razor / C# - create incrementing array names in loop

Question

I am just trying to learn razor syntax for webmatrix and I am struggling with arrays and cant find any guidance, can someone show me where I am going wrong..cheers

 @for(var i = 1; i < 13; i++) {   

    int[] new monthArray[i];

  }

I need to create 12 arrays named as:

monthArray1
monthArray2
monthArray3
.......
monthArray12

Are you trying to create a matrix (e.g., an array of 12 arrays, for a total of 144 elements)? — Eric Lloyd

Right now, what you're doing is re-declaring the same array in each pass through the loop, each time one element longer, then throwing it all away because you're declaring the variable inside the loop. — Eric Lloyd

I think I can better help if I have more context. Why do you need twelve arrays? What are you storing? — Eric Lloyd

Why not just make a single two-dimensional array?

int[][] monthArrays = new int[12][];
@for (var i = 1; i < 13; i++) {
    monthArrays[i] = new int[foo]; // foo is length of each array
}

Then, access the right array by month number.
For example, instead of monthArray3, you'd write

monthArrays[3] ... // do something with array
